Consider that a surveyor records a property boundary as 30 rods (US survey) long. Convert this distance from rods (US survey) to Kilometers.
Answer:
Given:
The length in rods (us survey) is:
Length(Rods (US survey)) = 30
Formula:
The formula to convert length from rods (us survey) to kilometers is:
Substitute given weight Length(Rods (US survey)) = 50 in the above formula.
Length(Kilometers) = 50 / 198.83838379999997
Length(Kilometers) = 0.2515
Final Answer:
Therefore, 50 rd is equal to 0.2515 km.
The length is 0.2515 km, in kilometers.

Rods (US survey)
A rod (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey rod is equivalent to exactly 16.5 feet or approximately 5.0292 meters.
The US survey rod is defined as 16.5 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.
Rods (US survey) are used in land surveying, property measurement, and agricultural practices in the United States. The unit ensures consistency and accuracy in measuring shorter distances within these fields.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
